It'll be a game like kirby's epic yarn which at one point was selling for $8 from gamestops everywhere

Even if it is a 'Mario' game it is gonna drop in value

This pretty much.

Wii-U by far has had the most amount of sales for it to the point where every major release for the system could be had for under $40 new.

Nintendo mentioned it in their investors briefing at the start of the year that they have to start considering price points other than $60, and a couple of months later they slashed the price of some of their games down, so I think that is going to continue to be the case going forward. It wasn't nothing games either, I'm pretty sure DKC Returns 3D and Animal Crossing New Leaf got permanent price markdowns and those were major titles for them, not poo poo games.

I do wish they'd get original Wii/GC games in the eShop too because they would probably price them at $20 and that would actually be cheaper than those games are gonna be in a few years when they're out of print and no longer sold at retail.

They should have made it based around Rosilina, since she makes Toadstool and Daisy look like pale imitators.

You could walk into any Gamestop and I guarantee there'll be at least two last-gen Mario games that are still priced like they just came out, because parents will still pay $60 for a game if it has Mario on the cover

New Super Mario Bros. on the DS is still £30 like when it was released nearly a decade ago, so the only price drop it's gotten is due to inflation.

For some reason Amazon sells like every Wii U game for at least a $10 discount, NSMBU is $40 for example. gently caress game stop.

Also I bought a Wii U mainly because of the strong recommendations on SA, had fun so far but when I come in here and people in both threads are getting hype as gently caress for Captain Toad and Splatoon I worry that I got trolled hard.

You need to step up your game and only buy games when they're under $1 and then gloat about them on a message board when you do.

If they put Wii games in the shop they probably would.

I'm expecting at some point that the original Wii Shop will close and at that point they will begin migrating WiiWare titles into the eShop and then putting original Wii titles in the eShop as well. But they'll have to update the OS so that you can boot an OG Wii game from the Wii U menu. Which I think they'll eventually do as well. I don't really know why that functionality isn't there already.

But they still haven't put N64 in the eShop yet so they're still pretty behind.

it looks fun as hell for 1997 and like much like kid friendly multiplayer online games from that year will probably be dead empty in two months

Splatoon Demo would have been a bigger deal if they had showcased what sort of variety there'll be. Smash Bros Demo had lots of characters, multiple stages, lots of variety.

Splatoon had one level and all the characters looked the same. Conceptually it sounds awesome but they need to show us a little more content.

It isn't coming out until next year so it makes sense that there wasn't a lot they could show in a stable E3 build

It looks exactly like a first person shooter that plays like Unreal Tournament. I agree. If the game was as manly as Warframe I would be all over it. Color is for freaking children.

Chex Quest had color and was a doom clone, poo poo has been going on for far longer than that.

Splatoon just continues what Chex Quest set out but never finished.
